6:00 am
is there a double standard? we're going to examine that on this monday morning. >> and remember this moment -- >> the reforms i'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> liar! >> congressman joe wilkson says illegal immigrants will be covered in the health care bill. he yelled you lie. he'll be here live on the couch. also this hour, our slogan. comes to us from scott in oklahoma, his address not available. it's time to get out of bed and get the dogs fed. turn on "fox & friends" to get food for my head. >> global warming is really kicking in. >> no kidding, when you breathe in, you might get a little frozen action in your nose. so glad you would join us for
6:01 am
this very warm newswise monday morning and we'll start with the headlines this morning because today, a fox news alert. three u.s. service members, unfortunately, have been killed in afghanistan this morning. nato says they were fighting enemy forces in the southern part of the country. this after nato also says another u.s. service member was killed there by a bomb explosion yesterday. no further details have been made available. so far, 10 u.s. service members killed in afghanistan this year. today, a judge is set to hear from the lawyers for a terrorism suspect being held at gitmo. they will decide if his rights were violated while there for five years. he's accused of the deadly bombings at two u.s. embassies in africa in 1998. the ruling could set precedent affecting the prosecution accused 9/11 mastermind muhammed. they are set to stand trial in new york. secretary of state hillary clinton begins a 10 day trip to the pacific this morning. she'll talk about terrorism and
6:02 am
its threat to the region. she is expected to make the first stop in honolulu to deliver a speech about pacific nations and she'll then go to australia, new zealand and new guinea. forget who i had this bet with as to whether or not this guy would go to jail. >> geraldo. >> he is going to jail. he begins his 90 day sentence. he must serve 30 days before he can participate in the jail's work release program. a judge has also ordered heene to pay back the money used in the rescue efforts. that's $48,000. he still claims that he believed his son was aboard the balloon and only entered a guilty plea to protect his wife from being deported. she faces a 20 day jail term. after a huge tax fair bailout, a top executive for general motors says the automaker should be solidly profitable when the demand for new cars rebounds to normal level.
6:03 am
the gm vice chair says the company has made strides in recent months. the car maker restructured, of course, through $50 billion in taxpayer bailout money which led to the government-run bankruptcy. well, it's official. nbc is pulling the jay leno show from primetime. it will happen on february 12th when nbc begins its winter olympics coverage. affiliates were threatening to drop "the leno show". it's going to cost them millions of dollars in lost revenue because of low ratings. leno will move back apparently to the 11:35 time slot and conan o'brien is ready to fly away. where's he going to go? he's reportedly furious about the move and could jump to another network. >> like ours? >> nbc chair jeff gaspen says there's no done deal and talks are set to resume today. it's interesting when you read the fine print of the details of his contract, though, he would be paid millions of dollars still if he left. >> here's the thing -- if he doesn't host "the tonight show".
6:04 am
but what if they make "the tonight show" at 12:05, then he gets -- they can battle this out in court. that's called hey, i gave you "the tonight show" you didn't say what time it had to start. >> wouldn't be surprising to find out whether or not the time slot was actually in the contract. >> all right. let's talk a little bit about this. "60 minutes" last night featured a profile of the brand new gossipy tell all called "game change" by mark halpren and john hileman. did you guys see this quote on the inside flap of this? >> no. >> there's stuff in here. >> i did not see that. you can't read that. >> i cannot because this is a family news show. anyway -- >> for now. >> for now. here's mark halpren, the writer on why and how sarah palin was picked to be the vice presidential candidate for john mccain. listen to this. >> one interview she did with charlie rose where she was very much the sarah palin people find appealing.
6:05 am
she was lively. she was engaging. she popped off the screen. mccain boxed himself in. he needed a game-changing pick for vice president and that left him with a last minute pick of someone who was to mccain a virtual stranger and was to his senior staffers an absolute stranger. >> amazing to me that "60 minute" shows, there's 434 pages, it's electric, stuff about hillary and bill clinton you won't believe. we know what happened with harry reed. he did not deny the quote. he said it directly to mark halpren but 434 pages, they decide this. let's make it sarah palin and actually, i thought steve smith totally contradicted himself. one minute he said she was a quick study and the other minute he said she didn't know what was going on. they had to explain world war i and world war ii. >> she did great on the vice presidential debate because she was a good study. >> that was a surprise to them that she did well. according to the book and other accounts that we've heard about in the last year or so, they didn't think -- they said she
6:06 am
didn't prepare for it. but anyway, be that as it may, he also said she was extremely calm when she found out that she was the vp pick because she had a reason for that. >> she was very calm. i said you don't seem nervous at all about this and she said, no. it's god's plan. >> all right. what's wrong with that? >> sure. >> so many people say you know what? i got this job or this happened to me when i met this woman, met this guy, depending on who you are. >> it was meant to be. >> it was meant to be. why is that so electric? >> meanwhile, let's talk about what was going on on the democrat side. hillary rodham clinton was so confident not only that she would win the nomination but she would be president. listen to this. >> she had two top advisors start to plan her transition for after she won the general election even before she was the nominee. that's how confident she was that things were headed in that direction. >> see, i don't find that surprising at all.
6:07 am
who else didn't think that hillary rodham clinton was not going to be the democratic nominee for president? who didn't think she might not be president? all the polls and all the strategists back then felt exactly like she did and maybe she was being extra organized in preparing for that. >> i thought the most amazing thing when she comes out in the book that the rumors about bill clinton, the post presidency to find out about these relationships he was having to found one. he was in a sustained relationship that dated back to 2006 and the revolution that bill said to senator ted kennedy when ted said i'm going to endorse barack obama, he said you're only supporting him because he's black. >> yeah. well, he also said a few years ago to ted kennedy, this guy meaning barack obama would have been getting us coffee. >> what the heck does that mean? >> allegedly he said all this stuff. i think what it proves is that hillary's greatest liability was her husband. i mean, had it not been, you could argue, according to this book, had it not been for bill, hillary might be president right now. >> one of her staffers on the
6:08 am
record, one said after her reaction in iowa, they no longer were convinced she would be capable and be a good president. evidently, she had a meltdown after that and her reaction was not something that was reassuring to her staff. >> so here is -- here they are talking about hillary and bill. >> she says, you know, there's one last thing that's a problem which is my husband. i mean, you've seen what this is like. it will be a circus if i take this job. there will be a new controversy every day that you'll have to deal with. obama says to her, i understand but i want you so badly i'm willing to live with your husband. >> it's an extraordinary moment. on the one hand, you have hillary clinton saying something she says to almost no one. admitting that her husband is a problem. in the same time, obama comes back and shows vulnerability to her, he says to her given the economic crisis, given all i have to deal with, i need your help. >> that's a very interesting interplay there because that was when president obama was asking
6:09 am
her, apparently, more than once to be secretary of state. but to see them both in desperate situations like that is very interesting for two very powerful people. >> ok, let's go to page 36 at the top. talking about harry reed. >> we should be playing soap opera music through this. that's exactly what this is. >> harry reed was wowed by owe balm why's oratorical gifts. they believe the country was ready to endorse barack obama, especially a light skinned with no negro dialect as he later put it privately. you have harry saying that and naturally the firestorm has started on the republican side. >> don't worry. he called all his democratic friends and it's time to turn the page. >> including al sharpton who will be joining us later on in the show. >> even though he finds it extremely offensive, he has gone ahead and accepted his apology. michael steel, however, does not
6:10 am
think that he has done enough and thinks he should step down. listen to this. >> there is this standard where democrats feel that they can say these things and they can apologize when it comes from the mouths of their own. but if it comes from anyone else, it's racism. >> then everyone is pointing back to trent lott in 2002 when he made those comments. well, it was harry reed himself that was saying that, you know, you should step aside. here it is, this is what trent lott said. the republican party -- >> this is harry reid on trent lott. oh, this is obama. >> this is president obama on trent lott when he was senator obama back in 2002. "republican party itself has to drive out trent lott. if they have to stand -- if they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party" as opposed to the comments harry reid said when he was running for president. >> eight years later, president obama now had this to say about harry reid's comments. harry reid called me today and
6:11 am
apologized for an unfortunate comment reported today. i accepted harry's apology without question because i've known him for years. i've seen his passionate leadership on issues of social justice as i know what's in his concern. here's the deal, guys. ok, this is such a partisan issue. i mean, let's just face it. every republican is going to say that what harry reid said is wrong. unless somebody jumps ship on the democratic decide and says harry reid should step down, this is going to be status quo. >> here's the difference. in 2002, president bush did not stand behind trent lott. he was upset by the comments. >> there was a number of republicans who said what he had said was inappropriate and that he should step down. interestingly enough, here's what mary landru who is now the senator from louisiana. here's what she said back in 2002 regarding trent lott. she said "i can tell you, if a democrat leader said such a thing, they would not be allowed to keep their position."
6:12 am
>> but the thing about harry reed is harry reed is probably going to lose the election in nevada anyway. he's down 20 points to sue loudon, the republican person who is running in that state, the woman. she's been on our show before. i think the voters in nevada will ultimately make this decision. >> it all comes down to this -- there's a double standard. double standards exist. the same people who accepted harry reed's apology did not accept trent lott's apology. and email us right now. if a republican made those comments, would they simply get away with an apology and everything would be accepted? email us right now, friends at foxnews.com. >> he's not afraid of calling out the president. remember when congressman joe wilson did this? >> the reforms i'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> you lie! >> that congressman says the president has told us another lie.
6:13 am
he's here next to explain. >> and no pants, no problem. that is my mantra. why thousands of people across the country decided to show a little skin. >> a little too much in some cases.

>> time for some quick headlines on this monday morning. king is calling the human rights situation in north korea appalling. he says the conditions have to improve before the country can normalize relations with the u.s. do you think? this as the north is asking for peace talks with the u.s. in a statement, the north says it wants to be able to re-enter six party talks regarding the nuclear program. meanwhile, a consumer alert for parents. your kids' jewelry may be toxic. an investigation found some charm bracelets and pendants like this manufactured in china have high levels of the metal cadium. it can hinder brain development in small children. if you have something like that, beware. >> well, it was the outburst heard round the world. >> the reforms i'm proposing
6:17 am
would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> you lie! >> so, will illegal immigrants get health care with amnesty and where is the transparency that president obama promised during his run for office? >> we're joined by that man you didn't see but heard, south carolina congressman joe wilson. welcome to the couch for the first time. >> honor to be here and i want to congratulate you for being number one. >> thank you very much. you said you shouldn't have yelled it out. the word you used, do you regret -- were you wrong? >> i believe the issue -- in fact, the u.s. senate adopted citizenship verification within 48 hours of the speech and the white house issued a news release that they would include citizenship verification also within 48 hours and so this is such an important issue and that's why the lack of transparency, the back room deals that are being cut today, the american people need to know what's going on. >> so what do you make of the
6:18 am
fact that these closed door meetings are happening now? does it make you nervous as to the one thing that you yelled out you lie about, does it make you nervous about illegals getting health care? >> i'm really concerned for the american people. the president was correct when he ran for president, he stated eight times that this would be covered by c span. it's not being covered so they're not covering citizenship verification. we got a bill that could cost according to the national federation of the independent business 1.6 million jobs. the american people need to know what's in the bill. a conference committee is the proper way. you have democrats and republicans fortunately you have the bill si -- and you have a bill side by side. you vote on that, it should be in public. >> we know illegal immigration has slowed down as the economy has slowed down. if you have word out that we'll be giving you health care coverage, you wouldn't be able to keep up with all this much the argument is we're going to ask for social security numbers and citizen verification so congressman joe wilson is wrong. >> actually, by asking for the
6:19 am
social security number, it could be a fake number because there's not verification in the bill. over 20 pages referencing citizenship verification but it has no teeth. it has no meaning. additionally, there's no enforcement and so it truly would be, brian, as you indicated, cause people to come to our country, my great concern aside from the cost of it, it's going to be denying american citizens service when they need it. we've -- my wife roxanne has done a great job raising four sons. we've been to the emergency room with broken everything. and so you could easily end up in the waiting room of your local emergency room and not be able to get service because there are many people there who shouldn't be there. >> ok, is it true that you are and were an immigration attorney? >> yes, i have done immigration work many years ago and we've got good laws in our country, gretchen, and they're just so positive and we need to follow the laws we have. >> i find that fascinating, congressman. that point was not brought up in
6:20 am
that whole debate about what you yelled out that day is the fact that you have actually worked on some of these cases. >> and it's -- if it weren't funny, but i've been subject to extraordinary verification of anything i say which i think is good. it was 30 years ago i did immigration work and i actually had to call some dear friends of mine who had immigrated from canada to get them ready for a possible interview, friends of mine from india, and it's really -- so i can prove that i have -- >> you're not anti-immigrant. you're anti-illegal. >> yes. >> place for doing it. >> joe wilson, you're very well schooled in this issue and i'm sure you'll stay out and center on it. thanks for being on the couch. >> congratulations on "fox & friends" and fox news being number one. >> thank you very much, congressman. >> coming up on the show, he's been called the kissing bandit. the man who breached new york airport security to kiss his girlfriend good-bye. >> as you try to search on

>> welcome back. the guy who caused that major security scare at newark airport by going the wrong way through a checkpoint to allegedly kiss his girlfriend good-bye may get maybe 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. a slap on the wrist or is that fair punishment? that's our debate this morning. defense attorney and fox news legal analyst and josh hanshaft is a district attorney, an assistant in that capacity. josh, frank lautenberg, the senator from new jersey would like to throw the book at this
6:25 am
guy but there's not much in the book. >> that's the problem and you know what? we may joke about it. we may call this guy the kissing bandit, all these folks are coming out. the bottom line is the senator is right. the books, there's nothing on the books. the top penalty here is $500. the federal statutes are not sufficient enough to handle this so the state statutes allow for trespass $500 penalty not sufficient enough, he's absolutely right. >> nothing on the books because of this guy's action. in other words, if he had a gun on him, they're looking at what his intent is. look, he's lucky that there's nothing more seriously to get charged with because the knee jerk reaction would be to throw the book at him. he actually did us a favor. he did. it highlighted how weak our security is. t. s. a. lets him walk right through. the video camera, they can't even identify his face. we can look from the moon on google earth and you can see my backyard. >> ok. >> but we can't identify a guy's face in the airport security? >> the next guy that walks through, the books should be thrown at him. this guy should go to jail. >> they should change the law,
6:26 am
right? >> they should change the law. i'm more concerned with how easy it was for it to happen. i fly all the time. i am more concerned that if he had dynamite strapped all over him, he would just walk right through. a guy sleeping. couldn't even identify him on the video camera. >> and the expense that was put into this to find this guy and who this guy was. >> the punishment should be he should write a letter to each one of those people, up there for an hour and apologizing, kiss the letter with lipstick on. >> i think that's a great idea. i wish i would have thought of it. look at those people, 1600 people in that concourse delayed. >> horror. >> it also backed up air travel across this country. tens of thousands of people, maybe hundreds of thousands of people, millions of dollars worth of congress but unlike -- unlike the guy that is surrendering today, the balloon's boy parents, they intentionally did it. they intentionally caused it. this guy wanted to make out. >> but he broke the rules!
6:27 am
>> look at the video, the guy walks away and he walks under the rope. you don't think he did this intentionally? knew this was an exit of the airport. >> i'm not saying he shouldn't be punished. when you have lemons, make a little sugar and add a little sugar and make lemonade. let's look at how we can use this example to strengthen our system, to make sure this doesn't happen again. >> to write letters and have lemona lemonade, that's what you want to do in this situation. when this is post 9/11 -- >> nothing happened. i agree, he should get -- he should be made an example of to some degree. >> what should happen to him? >> i think he should pay the fine. maybe he should do, i don't know, a weekend in jail. i would give him community service. >> you know what? so if i -- >> no, there shouldn't be a next version! that's my point. the system has to be locked down. >> he should get the highest penalty. unfortunately the only thing we have right now is $500 on the books so the laws need to be changed and it needs to be a federal offense for people who break the rules. >> all right. what do you think out in tv land? email us right now. arthur, josh, good job. >> thank you. >> all right.
6:28 am
off the green room. brian and gretch? >> new information on the military reviews given to the fort hood shooter. shocking details of what his superiors apparently knew and apparently ignored. >> and florida in its deepist freeze in two decades. the orange grove on red alert. how a frozen south could jack up the cost of your orange juice. >> and the car companies are at a fervor pitch. didn't we mean fever pitch? >> if we had a chance to do it again, we'd say fever. >> anyway, it's the car show. we're looking at new cars for you guys. we're live in the detroit auto show with the latest and the greatest from the big three. >> and happy birth take to my college roommate mary jay blige. she turns 39 today and she'll be on "american idol."

6:31 am
>> half past the hour of 6:00. thank you for sharing your time with us today. we'll kick off this half-hour with a couple of headlines for you because the u.s. may be talking to iran again about its nuclear program. the web site is reporting that iran is offering to swap low enrich enri enriched uranuium. they report that they're halting production for two months as a good will gesture. president obama had given them to the end of 2009 to reach a deal on the nuclear program. >> doctors overseeing fort hood
6:32 am
shooting suspect reportedly voiced concerns over his views on islam but still helped him move up the ranks to according to a military review coming out. doctors continue to give him positive performance evaluations. they want to know why he was advanced despite the concerns. the review will be delivered to defense secretary richard gates on friday. he is accused of murdering 13 people at the texas army post where he was a psychiatrist. >> the mother of a missing 8-month-old boy in arizona is being charged with kidnapping and child abuse. police extradited elizabeth johnson from florida where she's been jailed. they don't know what happened to gabriel. but recently, they named a scottsdale couple persons of interest. they apparently wanted to adopt the baby. police say the two may know more
6:33 am
than they're telling the investigators. >> the first federal challenge, steve, to a ban on same sex marriage gets under way in california today. justices in san francisco will hear arguments for prop 8. also for the first time, the court is allowing the proceedings to be taped and uploaded to you tube. maybe they could do that for health care reform. >> that will be interesting. i don't think so. no cameras. no pants, no problem. people around the world stripped down to their underwear for the annual no pants subway ride much in new york city, hundreds braved the frigid cold to take part in the annual tradition. wow. in san francisco, hundreds more road the bart without their drawers. and i mean pants. the event was started by the improv group in new york in 2002 and it spread to 44 cities around the world, all in the name of fun.
6:34 am
no one looks happy, though. >> just horrified and people with clothes. >> and the ones with clothes actually are taking pictures of ones without which is kind of scary. all right, listen, sure, you need pants today. in particular right now because man, is it cold and you need an umbrella if you're in the pacific northwest. now, through northern portions of california, according to the radar and the doppler, we got a little dusting of snow moving through portions of the great lakes states down the ohio valley and back through portions of the central mississippi valley. meanwhile, let's take a look. temperatures not quite as desperate as they were on friday when we last did the weather here, folks. they are cold. look at that, it's 8 right now in caribou, maine, then we have temperatures below freezing. look at this. all of the temperatures for the most part, east of the rockies are below freezing. right now, it is 26 degrees in tampa. what the heck is that about? 27 in san antonio.
6:35 am
it is 22 in new york city. things will warm up a bit. although not so much in new england. only 17 in caribou. the freezing temperatures continue across the northern plains down through the ohio valley as well. but then you got 40's and 50's from the mid atlantic down south. and take -- let's go ahead and take a look. we have some pictures of -- look at this. this is just heartbreaking. there was a hard freeze warning last night for the orlando area and there you can see those oranges. you know, the initial idea is they irrigate them before a big frost so that it would have a protective coating of ice and so it wouldn't kill the fruit inside. but, unfortunately, when you have a couple of days of that stuff, it is not good for citrus growers. the freeze watch continues through tuesday down in the not so warm sunshine. >> hopefully those farmers will be ok down there. brian, an amazing football game last night. it was more like a basketball
6:36 am
score. >> yeah. i thought it was going to be a blowout and i said to myself, ok, the packers have lost this game. i might as well start doing something else. wrong! able to tune in towards the end. unbelievable playoff game as gretchen mentioned as the cardinals took on the packers at home in the nfc wild card round. offensive explosion. in fact, we haven't seen the nfl playoffs before. kurt warner says i'm probably going to retire at the end of the year, too good to call it quits. built up a 31-10 lead. warner threw a touchdown there and hit larry fitzgerald a little bit later. believe it or not, as he goes in for the score, thought this was over. green bay says no, we have an offense, too. they would storm back and they would tie the game, get this, on this play at 45-45. aaron rodgers to spencer havner, touchdown pass. we go to overtime now and now it's time for the cardinals to win it, right? doesn't miss. he's only missed one field goal all year long, make that two. game is still alive, packers
6:37 am
ball. what would happen? a defensive play would decide this offensesive -- this offensive game. michael adams would strip the ball from rodgers. he'd fumble. catches it, runs into the end zone. arizona wins 51-45, the highest scoring nfl game, playoff game in history. meanwhile, in the afc, the ravens went on to foxboro where tom brady has never lost a playoff game. since he got married, he's losing a lot. i'm telling you, it's true. the ravens throttled the patriots, that might be it, the ravens throttled the patriots from the get go. rice on the first play from scrimmage, 83 yards. he's from rutgers where steve actually raised him from scrimmage. that would be a great movie. the ravens defense did the rest. tom brady would lose a fumble and picked off three times. doesn't matter, he has a hot wife. ravens win. baltimore takes on the colts in indianapolis and that will be on saturday night. >> is that marriage sports or just sports>> i just like to add a little color.
6:38 am
>> since i raised him, can i declare him for tax purposes? >> yes, you can. >> it looked like he and randy moss were injured in that game. subtle prediction. >> it's also an endurance contest. >> sure. let's talk about this. one of the great things about the search engines is if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, you type in to bing au or yahoo or google or something, it will steer you in the right direction. if you type in christianity is -- there comes a feature where it will come up with all the searches in the past. common things, christianity is but you can't -- we fuzzed out the first one because it says something inappropriate. it's not very flattering. it says christianity is not a religion. christianity is a cult and stuff. >> see some good stuff, too. >> absolutely oochlt oouts. it's a mix. >> what if you do it with islam on going snogle. >> watch this. i put in the word islam, right?
6:39 am
now this is the auto complete thing. it's going to find islamic finder and i'm going to put -- i'm going to write is and all i'm going to do, in america, europe. when you put islam is -- it all falls out. everything disappears. there's some on the internet who say google is censoring the comments. >> like they do in china. >> uh-huh. >> so people wonder, is it because things happen where you draw up a cartoon in norway and next inni thing you know you're a target of death. google feels because being a victim, we're fighting in all corners the world. >> they have this in fact to say about it. this is through their spokesperson this is in fact a bug and we're working to fix this quickly as we can. that statement was given a few days ago. they were starting to fix it over the weekend. that has not happened yet. google in california when they
6:40 am

6:44 am
years worth of video captured in 2009 by unmanned drones that flew over afghanistan and iraq. that is three times as much video than was collected back in 2007. officials say the footage could show patterns in insurgent activity. that's what they're hoping. brian? >> hey, steve, many of president obama's policies directly impacts small business owners and entrepreneurs. whether they wanted to or not. so as president obama declared war on successful americans? this morning, a fair and balanced debate coming your way at this second. we're welcomed by a former advisor to president clinton and tommy newberry to my left, head of one of the 1% club and author of this book, it's upcoming, you can't get it yet. you can order it now. "the war on success." richard, you believe that america is under attack? >> well, i believe that successful entrepreneurs are under attack. and it's really from the president. it didn't start just with the administration. it actually started during the
6:45 am
campaign with the constant bombardment of rhetoric about the rich not paying enough in taxes. of course, they pay plenty in taxes that maybe somehow the health weal wealthy and successful have gotten there through luck even though 80% of self-made millionaires are self-made. they made it from scratch or corruption. often, the president, he even referred to successful folks as in the same group as bernie madoff. >> right. and that is true. but madoff is somebody we can point to that says he was abusive to it. richard, you heard the president say, the rich have had too good for too long. >> listen. it may be a clever name for a book. if this is a war on success, i mean, i want in. because we are now in the middle of a period of the biggest accumulation of personal wealth almost in history. and certainly in our history. i mean, it's interesting that we're on talking about this this morning because later today, the
6:46 am
wall street banks will announce record bonuses again. not six figures. not seven figures. >> and the white house will act outraged about that as were the economic advisors yesterday on all the talk shows. >> you know, i mean, this is certainly not president obama's war on success. i mean, today, a year later, after he's president, the five largest banks are bigger. the executives are making more money. they're still gambling with other people's money. i mean, this is -- this is certainly not a war on success by any traditional means. >> it most certainly is a war on success. the perpetual uncertainty caused by will there be new tax? will there be more red tape? will there be health care mandated by small business owners? it's sucking the oxygen out of the entrepreneural atmosphere and that's why there's no jobs. that's why unemployment has gone from 8% to 10% and it's sticking there. we need to unleash the entrepreneurs and in the war on success, i talked about the
6:47 am
attitudes that are toxic. we're talking about wall street and toxic assets. but there's something that is more damaging to our country than toxic assets, and it's toxic attitudes. we're painting the successful as something wrong. we need to be promoting success. success blesses others. >> are you concerned, rich, if the president -- if the president does not find a way to -- to make the rich feel as though they're not being attacked, that they're going to stop investing? >> the entrepreneurs will say i'll hold on to my money and there go the jobs. >> i think the rich are doing extremely well. i think if anything, the president is trying to find the right balance. the balance should be a little bit more in the other direction and i think what this country is about giving people a leg up so more people can contribute and more people can share in the american dream. people hate when i say this but when the president i worked for was president, the economy was -- president clinton, the economy was in pretty great shape. i mean, so -- so this notion that the democrats are somehow spoiling it for the rich people
6:48 am
in this country is, i think, just crazy. >> but the banks aren't lending and do you disseminate with what the banks are doing with the huge bonuss and what the average american wants to do. >> i'm talking about the average entrepreneur. that makes up 70% of our workforce. we need to take the gloves off. we need to get not only the speed bumps out of the way of entrepreneurs but we need to get rid of the -- of the red tape, the big obstacles, the hurdles, the uncertainty that are causing entrepreneurs not to hire people. we don't want unemployment to keep going and going and going. we need to hold entrepreneurs up. we need to show them -- show the world that this is our secret weapon. >> right. >> after national security, making things easy for entrepreneurs should be job number one and it's not right now. it's like there's a gold medal tax. if you succeed, you've got -- you get taxed and michael phelps tax. nobody would go for that in athletics why do they promote it in business? >> i think have a point of agreement on this. i think we need to make
6:49 am
entrepreneurs -- >> and the president is talking about tax credits right now. thank you very much for the debate that will be front and center this week if the president has his wishes. that's what he wants, he wants to talk about the economy. thanks, you guys. when it comes to the war on terror, president obama says the buck stops with him. what about when it comes to millions of job losses? detroit, start your engines. the auto show is revving up, as we speak. we're live at the convention center floor with a look at what the industry is offering up. upbeat rock. ♪ singer: hello hello hello can anybody hear me? ♪

>> after bankruptcy bailouts and the worst car market in decades, auto industry is revving up for a fresh start. the detroit auto show under way today. >> automotive expert doug browner is on the floor right now with a little preview of
6:53 am
what people will be buying some day soon. hey, doug. >> good morning, steve, gretchen and brian. here at the center in detroit, i'm telling you, i'm seeing a lot of smiles. a little surprising given how devastated this industry was over the last year but there's a lot of product out and a lot of people telling me here in detroit that we all have a reason to be optimistic about the industry. let's take a look at what i saw over the last day and i wanted to show you, start with gmc, the smallest gmc ever built. this is the denali. they've shrunk it down. you still all the bling. first ever crossover by denali. go on sale the third quarter of 2010. a little over 30 grand and expected to get 24 miles a gallon. from chevy, this is the show car. chevy finally doing a good job, i think, at building a very cool small car. 19 inch wheels. it will be less than 12 grand when it goes on sale in 2011 and this is a buick. the regal is back. i don't think i ever would have said i want to buy a buick but i think i want this one.
6:54 am
very cool, 245 -- 255 horsepower, i should say. all about performance, and i'll tell you, the regal going to give cashrs like the lexus a hu run for the money. hyundai has the new sonota out. why is it important? it's built in alabama and you have a lot of value, you guys. about 19 grand. it's on sale now. it's the sixth generation. gets 35 miles to the gallon and has all that conductivity on board. from mazda, this is called the mazda 2 evil twin. they've actually named it the evil twin. nonetheless, how fun to drive this around manhattan and you'll get about 40 miles to the gallon, sources are saying, when this hits show rooms later this year and check this out from nissan, this is the real car. this is called the leaf. fully electric, you guys, it will go 100 miles on a charge. you can plug it in to 220 or 110 and check it out, you could recharge the batteries in just 30 minutes.
6:55 am
this is a car that will be on sale this year. nissan is saying it will be very, very affordable. they won't say about how much. but when they say very, very affordable, what are we thinking? about maybe low 20's? one more car i want to show you. here at the auto show, you're not going supposed to go look under covers fortunately they get cranky when you do this. take a look, an hour ago, went over to honda and lifted up the cover on this because i wanted to see it. it's the all new crz. they won't introduce it until this afternoon but remember the cr-x? this is the next generation. a two seater hybrid, should get about 38 miles to the gallon. no pricing yet but it will be on sale late summer. you guys, back to you. >> doug, you read the business pages. you hear about, well, ford is the american company doing well and the other two are being sustained by the government. when you go to the auto show, does it feel like ford in terms of american cars and everybody else or does it seem like chevy, chrysler are making their presence felt? >> well, it's a good question. i'll tell you, from a display
6:56 am
perspective, certainly ford looks a little more opulent. they're making a little bit of money. this is the gm booth and if it looks a little off to you, that's not by accident. nancy pelosi is expected to visit here today. gm won't given the fact they're partially owned by all of us, right, taxpayer bailout dollars, they wanted to keep it low key. focus on product that's ready to go to consumer. not a lot of the bling that we've seen in the past. we're seeing a little bit of a subdued presentation. chrysler may be not so much. they're struggling with that partnership with fiat to decide what they want to build but certainly i think you're right. ford has a little bit of an edge and ford did not take any taxpayer bailout dollars. >> all right. >> doug browner, thank you very much for the live report from motown. >> he knows a lot about cars. are you getting that sense? >> he does. really cool cars. i love that leaf. >> which one was that? >> the nissan leaf.
6:57 am
the green car. goes 100>> electric one. >> chevy volt, that's bad news. >> isn't that going to be $50,000 or $60,000? >> yes. sn senate majority leader harry reid says he's not going anywhere. what if it was a republican problem? is it a double standard. we'll ask dana parino. >> how closely should sex offenders be tracked? one state putting out their personal information on line. is that going too far? we'll report. you're going to decide.

7:02 am
begin with a fox news alert. three u.s. service members have been killed in afghanistan this morning. they were fighting enemy forces in the southern part of the country and nato says another u.s. service member was killed in the region by a bomb explosion yesterday. no further details have been made available. so far, 10 u.s. service members have been killed in afghanistan this year. u.s. troops are not heading into yemen any time soon. that's according to president obama. in an interview with "people" magazine, the president acknowledges al-qaida is a serious problem in that country but right now, he wants to win over the hearts and minds of the yemeni people. this as yemen's president plans to track down al-qaida militants but says the government is willing to talk with anyone ready to denounce terrorism. police still looking for a mystery man seen leaving a miami nightclub with a former playboy model. she was later found dead in a trash bin. this new surveillance video shows the man leaving with her. witnesses tell police the man met her outside the club hours before her body was found. officials say she had been at
7:03 am
the nightclub with her boyfriend, kevin klein. police call him also a person of interest. there have been reports that he was se-- she was sending text messages to a friend saying klein was trying to kill her. cleanup continues in northern california following this weekend's 6.5 magnitude earthquake. inspectors will keep checking for structural damage on many historic buildings like this four story art deco marquis tipping towards the street. local stores are facing aisles of broken glass, spilled goods and water damage. meanwhile, for thousands of residents, the lights luckily back on following widespread power outages. the quake centered about 22 miles west of ferndale caused no major injuries. reports say that yankee star derek jeter will be getting another ring this fall. a wedding ring. "the new york post" says jeter and actress minka kelly may have set a wedding date. they will reportedly tie the knot november 5th at long island's castle. that day is a few days after the
7:04 am
end of the world series. >> i've been there. it's a very nice castle. as castles go, it's one of my favorites. >> isn't that where one of the jonas brothers just got married? >> there are a lot of people with the last name jeter. >> a bit of a riddle in the definition, the explanation. >> how many parinos do we know? i know one and here she is, dana parino joining us right now at 4:04 in the morning in san francisco. dana, thanks for joining us today. >> why are you joining us today? >> because we spend mondays with dana. >> i was up! >> what do you make of harry reid? in the brand new book called "game change" on page 36 he said of president obama, he thought he'd do well because he was light skinned and didn't speak with a negro dialect unless he wanted to have one as he later put it. understandably, he has started apologizing. and it seems like every democrat has already accepted his apology but it seems like every republican is saying, wait a
7:05 am
minute. shouldn't he get in trouble for this because trent lott got in trouble for it and had to step down from his leadership role. >> they also know everyone of them would said it. the democrat and groups, naacp would have come after them with both barrels but it shows there is a clear double standard. i wish there weren't double standards in the world but there are and i think it's instructive for us to be able to say one exists and this is what it is. i do expect republicans to try to push because if you think back to the senator lott's days, most people did not accept his apology on the democratic side or with the groups and then they wanted to ask them, fine, you apologize. what did you mean by that? and i think that is a fair question to ask senator reid as well. >> that's good follow-up. the president of the united states, president bush as trent lott would say was really the nail in the coffin was when president bush really didn't back him. condemn the remarks? >> we do condemn the remarks
7:06 am
and we accepted the apology. and we pointed to all the things that he had done. now, i think one thing that's interesting and this has happened to me recently in talking about the current health care debate is that this subtle charge of racism runs through all the rhetoric that the democrats throw at republicans. and if you're against the current health care proposal as it's going through congress, then you're the kind of person who also disagreed with the civil rights act. and then when you challenge and ask if that is a charge of racism, they say, oh, no, that's not what i meant. it is what they mean and it runs through all of it. i think it's good that we know now that everybody can see. it's clear. there's a double standard and they're a part of it. >> let's take a listen to what michael steel had to say. he, of course, is the chair of the republican national committee and he's also african-american. >> there is this standard where democrats feel that they can say these things and they can apologize when it -- when it comes from mouths of their own. but if it comes from anyone
7:07 am
else, it's racism. >> here's what harry reid said about the comment. this is the exact comment. pretty much you handled that whole thing. >> we have other quotes from other people, other politicians, dana to put it in perspective, maybe there is this double standard. mary, the senator in louisiana back in 2002 had to say about trent lott. i can tell you if the democratic leader said such a thing, they would not be allowed to keep their position. that was from the advocate in baton rouge, louisiana. i haven't seen any comments from landru in 2010. will these comments come back to bite some of these politicians who at one point when it was not their party under attack, they thought it was not a good idea? >> well, i don't know specifically it comes back to bite them and hurt them politically. i think what it does is further erode the credibility and trust of the american people have in the congress as a whole. remember, congress now is enjoying one of its worst approval ratings in the history
7:08 am
of the country. >> right. >> and where everybody can see now, just how blatant the double standard is. i don't think that that helps them with that number and i ultimately think -- it's not good for washington. not good for country and it's not good for them to try to get their agenda passed. >> the congress to their credit, they're the ones doing all the legislation. they did the stimulus package and health care plan. it's their necks on the line. they're paying the price because maybe people don't like what they're putting out. last quote from this, this is harry reid in 2002. on trent lott's controversy. if you tell ethnic jokes in the back room, much easier to say ethnic things publicly. i've always practiced how i play. >> that's interesting. and that's why it's -- it would be good to know, what did you mean by that comment? how often do you speak like this in your private moments when you think, you know, when these private unguarded moments because it's a glimpse into the soul. >> al sharpton is coming up shortly and he'll tell us, as he always does, what he really believes. >> that will be good.
7:09 am
>> we know for a fact that the economy shed at least 85,000 jobs. that's the bad news that came out from the department of labor on friday during our show. dana, you know, the president has said regarding, you know, terrorists and war on terror although he doesn't call it that, that the buck stops with him. does it seem to you that it is applying to finding people jobs because that's the number one thing people are talking about, where are the jobs? >> well, whether or not he says that the buck stops with him on jobs, the american people believe that it does. and i do think that you saw from kristina romer yesterday, only sober comments but realistic comments and a studying of expectations for what's going to happen. those job numbers last month were disappointing. i think they said that president obama was subdued when he saw them. that's probably the appropriate response. the question is the more troubling number to me, steve, was 660,000 people decided to
7:10 am
stop looking for jobs which means if they're despondent and discouraged and going forward with the administration has to think about is as they're trying to communicate, how are they going to deal with the uncertainty that the health care legislation presents to employers and that's one of the main reasons that we're not wanting to create jobs right now. >> here's one of his economic advisors, kristina romer talking yesterday about the jobs. >> it's still terrible. we're still losing jobs and we absolutely have to go from losing any jobs at all to adding them at a robust rate. i think we are on a path of no -- of steady progress, that by all accounts, you know, gdp that grew in the third quarter of last year will grow even more strongly when we get the numbers for fourth quarter and if you look at every forecast, they are saying steady gdp growth over 2010. the real question is going to be, is it going to be strong enough to really add a lot of people back into employment? >> good question.
7:11 am
>> yep. it seems the president has his plate full right now, dana, with the terrorism stuff going on and then the economy and health care back home. dana, always great to see you. thank you so much for getting up so early. >> have a great week. >> hopefully you get a little more snooze now. > >> see you later. >> go down to the wharf and get sourdough bread. >> tom from our wofl affiliate is live at an orange grove with the very latest. did i say that town right? >> you pronounced it correct. are you romanian? how would you know how to pronounce it so well like that? >> i had a little help oochlt oots a romanian name. here we go. you want to talk oranges. as you can see, the oranges are very much alive on the trees. now, growers are watching the mercury very closely. that's because the magic number is 28. when the temperatures get down to 28 below, major damages can happen to crops.
7:12 am
we're not at that point yet. take a look, farmers on the defensive. they're actually irrigating the cro crops. sounds like a crazy idea. this serves as insulation and it works. there will be minor damages. nothing significant. we can tell you there is a silver lining in this dark, cold crowd. colder temperatures mean sweet oranges and trust me, i can attest to this first hand this morning. >> guys? >> good job. thanks, tom. >> i wonder how many coats like tom has. they're not useed to it. usually tank tops. >> exactly right. good report. straight ahead, one state now requiring all sex offenders no matter how severe their crime to register personal information on line for all to see. but is this new law really protecting to anybody or just going a little too far? we'll have a fair and balanced debate on that straight ahead.

>> all right. welcome back. it is damage control time for senate majority leader harry reid after an explosive new book
7:16 am
called "game change" has some comments he made about the president. here is a quote from the book. he, reid, was wowed by obama's oratoracle gifts and believed the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate especially one as owe balm yashgs a light skinned offer can american with no negro dialect unless he wanted to have one as he said privately. reid has been apologizing all weekend to the president and to the nation's black leaders but is saying sorry, enough. joining us is the president of the action network, reverend al sharpton got a call from harry reid on saturday night. >> yeah, i did. it's not a call out of context. i've talked him down through the years about legislation and all and i told him as i said, i think his comments were very poorly chosen words. negro dialect, i was offended by. >> you were offended by what he said. >> i was offended by the reference of negro dialect. i think, though, to say that what he said is anywhere near
7:17 am
comparable as your last guest, to what trent lott said is insulting to the intelligence of the american people. trent lott commended a dixie-crat for running for office who left the democratic party to run to fight integration. how do you compare trent lott saying that i wish this guy, we had those days where blacks would have been at the back of the bus. that's what the guy was running on. to a guy saying why a black could be elected president. now, he said it in an insensitive way but he's talking about a black president compared to a guy who was saying i wish this guy would have won. that would have kept blacks in segregation. this is outrageous! >> do you see -- when people say there's clearly a double standard because all the democrats should have said, ok, we apologize -- you apologize. >> how could it be a double standard when you're comparing something that is an offensive analysis. >> you just said you found his comment to be offensesive. >> if you said to me, reverend
7:18 am
sharpton, you are a word and used the racial term, that's racism in the first place. if you said reverend sharpton, you've been overweight. i would be offended. it's not the same thing. what harry reid said is nowhere near comparable to saying you wish a segregationist had been the president. in fact he was saying the opposite. he's saying he could be the president. >> jack reed said harry reid who is a senator from rhode island said that harry reid made a misstatement. he owned up to it apologized. do you think that was a misstatement? >> i think it clearly was a misstatement. if he was talking as the office said about why he felt his candidate, barack obama, would win. he was supporting senator obama as opposed to someone saying don't vote for him because he's black. >> now, i think i read it in some of the materials that you said you were offended by part of that comment but also, you've got to come up with some way to
7:19 am
hold people accountable whether it's harry reid or joe biden. for joe biden -- >> i was offended by joe biden but we forgave that. joe biden was running against barack obama. there's been a consistent pattern when people said something that was insensitive where we said that's wrong and we'll move on. but you can't call saying i wish a segregationist would won. you can't act that's insensitive. >> let's talk about something else in the book and it is about bill clinton was talking to ted kennedy. >> yeah. >> and clinton was trying to get ted's endorsement, senator kennedy's enforcement for hillary clinton and he said regarding president obama a few years ago, this guy would have been getting his coffee. >> that's for more disturbing. i haven't talked to president clinton. that's far disturbing. this is someone trying to stop his campaign and make a direct reference. i don't know the context of which he said it. that's far more disturbing to me
7:20 am
than even the comments that were made by mr. reid. >> you are offended by bill clinton saying president obama would have been getting them coffee. >> if he said that in the context, that would be very offensesive to me and i would definitely take mr. clinton on as i did in south carolina, made some statements that i thought was wrong. >> i remember. it's in the news. are you going to call him up? >> he hasn't called me. i guess i have to make the call. r reverend al sharpton. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> one state is tightening the hold on sex oeveners making them register their personal information on line. is it an invasion of privacy or good idea? we'll report and you decide. he caused major travel headaches for thousands of people because he wanted to kiss his girlfriend good-bye at newark airport. now he might get a $500 fine. is that enough? we'll be right back.

>> glad you're up. welcome to monday. time for your news by the numbers. sounds something like this. first 14 cents, that's how much the price of regular gas has gone up in the last three weeks. average price of regular is $2.74. i'd go premium. next $7.7 billion, that's how much dutch beer maker heineken is buying one of mexico's brewers for. they want to increase competition in latin america, one of the world's fastest growing beer markets and finally, $48 1/2 million. that's how much "avatar" made at this weekend's box office. it's fourth week at number one. it has made $400 million in the u.s. alone. gretchen? >> thanks, brian. the state of nebraska is tightening its control over sex offenders. it's now requiring even the
7:25 am
lowest level of offenders to register all their personal information on line for the public to see. will this law make people safer or is it infringing on the rights of others? joining me now is nebraska's attorney general, john rooney and defense attorney fighting the new law, good morning to both of you. >> good morning, gretchen. >> good morning. >> all right. attorney general, let me start with you because i know you were the one who was behind trying to get everyone on this web site. level 1. level 2. level 3. so give me a sense of what types of crimes would have had to have been done here to be on this list. >> well, everything, from a grown man who perpetrates a crime against a child, sexually molests a child, to the very lowest level which would be somebody, for example, who is a pimp for a prostitute. it could be a minor prostitute debauching a child will get you on the list. >> in the past, only level 3 offenders were on the list which by all arguments would be the
7:26 am
worst offenders. why did you want everyone on list, john? >> well, the old system used to have classification by a psychologist based on likelihood of reoffending so you'd have a psychologist set somebody down, they'd take a test and psychologists would determine, is this somebody who is very likely to reoffend or unlikely to reoffend? but the sex offenders hated that and they challenged it in court. of course, everyone was trying to gain the system. only the highest level offenders were put on the list. level threes were on the web site. they challenged it again and again and again in court. what we have now is an offense based classification system. if you commit a very serious felony against a child, you'll be on the list for life. if you commit a misdemeanor, you're going to be on the list for 15 years and so it takes the guesswork out of it. it takes the subjectivity ut itf it. >> let me get you in here. you don't like the fact that everybody is classified in the same way. why? >> it doesn't base you on your dangerousness to reoffend.
7:27 am
the old system was a good system, it provided for you an opportunity if you matured, if you got treatment, the state promised you that if you were low risk, you wouldn't be put up on the internet. now the state has broken their promise. you have the right to the certainty and fair notice of what your penalty will be. and the state has taken that away. >> yeah, and i understand as a defense attorney, why you would be against this because it would be -- what sex offender wants to be on this list? but if you're a apparent out there in nebraska, you're asking the opposite question. what sex offender do you want not on the list? >> goes to your constitutional rights. the constitution doesn't have first and second class citizens. constitution protects all of our rights. if the rights of these registrants aren't protected, none of our rights are protected. we have to be able to rely on the state and their promises and we want people to rehabilitate themselves, we want a 19-year-old kid who had consen you'll sex with a 15-year-old
7:28 am
girl to be able to move on with his life and get off registry within 10 years when he does what he's supposed to do. this provides for additional punishment and it's unfair. >> all right. a very interesting debate. the attorney general in nebraska currently in israel right now live for us. and stu dornan, defense attorney fighting this in court. thanks for your thoughts this morning. >> you're welcome. >> well, california governor arnold schwarzenegger flexing his muscles now in the health care fight. flipping his position. find out why. and he breached security at newark airport last week just so he could steal a kiss from his girlfriend. all in the name of love. but his action led to hundreds of flights being grounded. is a $500 fine enough of a punishment? email us or tweet me. let me know what you think. one bar owner says it's flat out unamerican to let the government come and take your land so he's handcuffing himself to his property to save it. hear from him. more "fox & friends" two minutes away. did you rinse this morning?

7:32 am
threat. military officials are currently searching the basement of the building. the threat came at the end of today's trading session in kuwait city. so far, nothing has been found. kuwait has seen a number of bogus threats in the past year against shopping malls and other public places. stay with us right here at fox for the very latest. >> all right. back to domestic politics. secretary of state hillary clinton begins a 10 day trip to the pacific this morning. she'll talk about terrorism and its threat in the region. clinton is scheduled to make her first stop in honolulu to deliver a speech about relations with the pacific nations. i assume she's for them. she will then head to australia, new zealand and new guinea. steve? >> brian, the husband of missing utah mom susan powell has packed up and moved to washington state. but he's still not talking. susan has been missing more than a month. josh powell is listed as a person of interest. friends and neighbors helped him pack up over the weekend. he's lost his job and without an
7:33 am
income, he could not afford to live in utah. he left to live with family members. >> it's official. nbc is pulling the plug on "the jay leno show" from primetime, 10:00 eastern time on february 12th when nbc begins its winter olympics coverage. affiliates were threatening to drop the show because their local news was suffering. it's cost them millions of dollars in lost revenue because of low ratings. leno would then go to the 11:35 slot. will the 12:05 slot be "tonight show" by conan o'brien. he's ready to leave and reportedly furious about the move and could jump to another network. all parties spent the weekend thinking about it. the nbc chairman said there's no deal and talks are set for resume today. wow! i think fox is going to end up with one of them. >> all right. you may be a prognosticator. he'll find out if you're right. meet jackson parish, he teaches kids and family classes at his mom's yoga studio in
7:34 am
minneapolis. he was pretty much born into yoga. he likes to meditate and says he wants to create peace in the world. >> hummmm! >> i am speechless a lot with him. he says things and it just -- it goes right to the heart! >> last month, jackson led his mom's students in a meditation to jack johnson's song "my own two hands." the students loved it and now jackson and his mom are presenting it 2,000 yogis at their annual 10 day conference in new mexico. >> i thought yoga songs should not have lyrics. >> fantastic. >> widely scattered showers moving into the pacific northwest through portions of california. a little dusting of snow through portions of the central mississippi valley and up around the great lakes but the big story, man, is it cold out here? and out there, look at this, right now in new york city at the airport, it's 22. in san an antonio, texas, it is 27. 28 in tampa and we just heard
7:35 am
from the guy down in the orange grove that 28 is the magic number. much below 28 and the citrus has problems. meanwhile, today's daytime highs, it's going to be freezing in kansas city, as you can see right there. and from the mid atlantic north, it's going to be around the freezing zone or cooler. from the mid atlantic down south, temperatures in the 40's and the 50's. meanwhile, we've got some pictures to show you, extremely cold temperatures where it's been in the teens have created a massive ice jam on the st. claire river in michigan. as you can see right there, it looks like those are some of the moors and apparently, some ships have been getting stuck in the ice. and when you're a ship, that's bad for business. all right. that's a look at the fox travel cast now. it's off to mr. scoreboard who has plenty to talk about on this monday morning. >> yeah much at least one of the two games was real good yesterday. unbelievable playoff game, cardinals took on the packers.
7:36 am
kurt warner said he's probably going to retire at the end of the year. people like me, ok, me, thought this game was over. they built a 31-10 lead as warner threw touchdowns, two strikes in a row. one went to the dusett and the other went to larry fitzgerald. green bay has fight in them big time. they would storm all the way back and tie the game at 45. yet, brett favre's remeplacemen aaron rodgers, throws it. it's defense that wins the game for zona. michael adams, i have to tell you, there was a missed field goal attempt. everybody thought he was going to hit it. in the end, it was the defense that won it. the strip, the fumble, the pickup. cardinals win, cardinals advance. final score was 51-45. highest scoring playoff game in nfl history, cardinals take on the saints on saturday. afc game, they'll travel, by the way, afc game, the ravens went
7:37 am
to foxboro where tom brady has never lost a playoff game. until this day. good-bye, good-bye. first play from scrimmage. the ravens' defense did the rest. tom brady will look so human, you'd wonder what is going on with him? . he was picked off three times. ravens win 33-14 and no one really feels bad for bill belichek. baltimore take on the colts saturday night. no football but a lot of full contact talk. bob baer, ed rollins and judith miller will be on at the same time talking all at once. try to make out what they're saying. >> when i was watching that ravens football game, i was thinking about michael moyer, fascinating story and young story for that young man. >> there was a documentary on the real michael of the ravens and how it was a little bit different. if anything, sandra bullock underplayed how forceful the mom
7:38 am
was. >> she probably should win not an academy award for that role. we're talking about arnold schwarzenegger and now it's actually against health care reform? remember, wivens of the few republicans who crossed over in the last year and said come on, g.o.p., we have to get on board for some reform here. now, he doesn't think it's a very good idea at least in this current form. >> and now congress is about to pile billions more on the california with the new health care bill. as you know, while i enthusiastically supported health care reform, it is not reform that costs the states, they're already struggling while other states are getting sweetheart deals. health care reform that started as a noble operation has become a props of loopholes.
7:39 am
yet, you've heard of the bridge to nowhere. this is health care to nowhere. california's congressional delegation should either vote gengs this bill that is a disaster for california or get in there and fight for the same heart deals that they got for the cornhusker state because he -- because that senator got to the cornhusker state the corn and we got the husks. >> the governor also sat down with david gregory and said something that was a really good point and said where are our representatives? would have any congress senator or congressman vote for this state? already they're getting less for their dollar than anywhere else. they have to pay for nebraska's health care and pay that money to mary landru's comments.
7:40 am
that was a little passage from his state of the state address. his final one in annisacramento. >> think what they could do to barbara boxer and saying what about that mind set? it won't hope your constituents to do that. >> let's talk about the major airports. look what happened. remember that guy who went through security the wrong way so that he could kiss his girlfriend one last time? and remember the t. s. a. security guard who was there on post but then turned around for a moment, not sure exactly to do what. well, now, this chinese national is apparently going to face a $500 fine but could also face more punishment, i guess. he should actually going to jail. >> well, the problem is because it was just simple trespassing, essentially, you know, he didn't have a gun and it's not being
7:41 am
alleged. it's not alleged that he had a gun, frank lautenberg, the senator from new jersey says look, we got to do something. we have to change the law. if somebody does this and brings air traffic in the northeast corridor to its knees for hours there's got to be some strict punishment so we had a fair and balanced debate about hour and 20 minutes ago. we asked what you thought. jane oppenhiemer says this. i i think the power public should relax that guy. should wake up the government as well. >> that's the one way to look at it. >> that sounds like a betty rather than that. he's the one who caused it, the man who lost his guard post. one thing that bugs me about newark airport because i go in and out frequently so they don't have a door there. i think that would be the first line of defense to have a door
7:42 am
going one way so when you're coming off flight, you can only go out and i don't think you should leave it up to one t. s. a. person to make this mistake or not. >> i usually go up to all the ropes, even i'm the only one there, because i do what the ropes tell me to do. i don't think you should do jail time because no intent or harm is present. i think the fine should be substantial and raised for the trespassing offense. i think they should be posted at the exit and the average person would think twice if they have to pay a several thousand dollar fine. if anyone should go to jail, it should be the worker that supposed to prevent this from happening. there should be a different system because one system goes through a door. >> you would think so. you think they'd have film in the camera because they had -- oh, man, it was a comedy of errors. >> yeah, we're not taping this show. there's a reason. >> we're live coast to coast and
7:43 am
around the world. >> on tape or live? how far would you go to save your local watering home from the wrecking ball? these die hards are willing to go to a bar called fredies that would be locked in an imminent domain site. we'll talk about the bar's manager. >> another edition of "sweating to the oldies." landmark addition, brian? au >> condition ken native has had 15 number one hits. be first friends and get an answer and you'll get details from the web site. so, doc... so, doctor... i've been thinking...

>> there is a bitter battle brewing at a popular new york bar under a controversial recent court ruling. freddie's bar is set to be seized by eminent domain. they're handcuffing themselves to the bar. they don't to become part of the nets new stadium. joining us right now, manager of freddie's bar and steve desev, patron and founder of fighting fredies and also here to react is judge napolitano. how long have you been fighting tore this, don? >> it's been almost seven years. since we first heard about it on television. >> and steve, when you found out about it on television, you
7:47 am
found out what? freddie is history. the stadium is coming and ratner wants it knocked down. >> i grew up in upstate new york and my family's neighborhood was taken, the whole neighborhood was wiped out. i'm at my bar and i find they're coming and going to take this. worst kind of eminent domain. back when they took my grandmother's house and our neighborhood for a highway, they never built it. this, they're taking to give it to somebody else. this is where we have to put the brakes on. >> putting the brakes on is something you're actually taking action on. did you guys handcuff yourself already? were you planning on doing that when the wrecking ball comes? >> we've had rehearsals, yeah. a lot of people stop by on a daily basis and try it out. they check it out. >> honey, i couldn't leave the bar. i was handcuffed. >> right. great excuse. >> great excuse. >> yeah. >> there's a case in newark, new jersey, where a state senator handcuffed himself to the fence outside the construction site like this as he were jesus on the cross and the cops refused to take him down. guess what? that thing that he was blocking
7:48 am
was never built. i'm not suggesting you should break the law. i'm suggesting sometimes the human element is what -- is what causes the just result. >> judge, you're saying that because legally, how strong is this case? >> very weak, unfortunately. i think the court of appeals of the state of new york was wrong when it allowed ratner to take the property. i think the supreme court of the united states was wrong when it allowed new london, connecticut, to take miss kelow's house but unfortunately, that's the law now. big government gets to take whatever it wants as long as the new owner is going to generate more real estate taxes than the old owner. that's the law. it's bad law. it's unconstitutional but it's the law. >> we're not going to follow that law. i mean, sometimes -- 5,000 people, this is a massive project we're fighting. if you're in england and want to take your money out of barkley's bank, do it. we are fighting this law and we're asking anyone who like me, lost their home from eminent domain, come on down when they
7:49 am
come to take it. >> what have they offered you guys? what have they offered you? we'll move you out but we'll give you -- >> they've done which i believe in any condemnation case, they come in and appraise the contents of the bar in this case and that's what they offer you. >> so legally, it might be tough but no one could put a legal parameter on the human spirit. >> what the neighborhood has done here is absolutely astounding what these people have done and we all know, at least i know the best communities all happen naturally. not with government interference. >> hey, you've got a powerful franchise at bay for seven years. steve and don, thanks so much. and if we go into freddie's, tell me when it's ladies night if you know what i'm saying. >> always ladies night. >> does brian drink for free on fridays? >> both of you guys drink for free. >> eminent domain revolt on you tube, come on down and stand with us. >> thanks, guys. appreciate it. thanks for telling your store. you'll stick around, judge, because enall about the constitution and yeah, the great

7:55 am
most important document in american history, of course, the constitution. >> these two documents taken together state the reasons for which the federal government came into existence, established a president, a congress and a court system each with separate and distinct responsibilities and powers. they retained certain rights for the people and for the states. remember, in philadelphia, it was the state that came together to create the federal government. the states gave a little bit of their powers to a new central government and they stated just how liberal and what those powers were in the magnificent document we call the constitution. >> wow! >> yeah. it's powerful. >> these are five to seven minute lectures on foxnation.com and on five different budgets. today is the constitution and the bill of rights.

tomorrow is the congress. wednesday is the presidency. thursday is the courts. and friday is the states. on friday, you can get all five of them. >> sure. it's a great idea. you know, we are always talking about what is legal and what isn't legal. it's all contained in that which you regard as the most brilliant document ever made. what's interesting is it's a casserole of ideas. >> very nicely put, steve. >> and yet, the voice of jefferson is right there. >> i get so many emails asking me a lot of questions about can the government do this? can the people do that? can you sue for this? i took all those questions and did my best to answer them in lecture form and the producers did an unbelievable job with stored footage and magnificec g music in the background. >> on friday, you can get the whole thing. >> because it's on the web site, foxnation.com you can get

8:04 am
jerry seinfeld knows a lot about nothing, but does he know about marriage? we're soon going to find out. he's returning to tv with his new show called, the marriage rush. he says it's part reality show, part game show and part comedy. a couple fights in their home and a celebrity panel weighs in on who won. seinfeld is the executive producer. it begins in march. >> this is such a brilliant idea, i'm kicking myself for not thinking of it. i think al baldwin will be run of the reps. >> if you ever write a book, you want to have the kind of rollout that two had last night on 60 minutes. they have gotten all of the juicy stuff from behind the scenes during the run for the presidency. it's interesting. just on the book cover it refers to the fact that apparently candidate obama's phone political team, some staff members would refer to the
8:05 am
candidate as the black jesus. you have john mccain and sarah palin, you wonder, okay, that was that side's candidates. how did he pick her? listen to this. >> he saw one interview where she was very much the sarah palin that people find appealing. she was lively, she was engaging, she popped off the screen. mccain boxed himself in. he needed a game changing pick for vice president and that left him with a last minute pick of someone who was, to mccain a virtual stranger and to a senior staffers, absolute stranger. >> why did he pick sarah palin? because he actually wanted joe lieberman. that had been rumored for months and months. when they floated that trial balloon out a couple days before he picked palin, the reaction was not very good because, of course, lieberman had been on the democratic ticket just a few years before that time. and so that's how he ended up picking palin. >> here is steve schmidt talking about palin's reaction, the governor of alaska then, to
8:06 am
getting this pick and her instant fame. >> she was very calm, nonplussed. i said, you don't seem nervous at all about this and she said, no, it's god's plan. >> when it came to the katie couric interview, said she was more focused on doing a local newspaper, answering ten questions from a local newspaper in alaska than preparing for katie couric's. said katie couric's questions were all okay with him. she just wasn't ready for it. she was upset with her make-up or whatever. but then he contradicts himself because he says, she didn't know about world war one or world war ii and on the other hand, said she was extremely quick study, extremely bright and agrees she did great in the vice presidential debate, but perhaps it was the briefing team that were giving her too much information that was giving her problems. when steve took over, he praises her. so i don't get it. within the same interview, he's gone back and forth on it.
8:07 am
>> that's sort of how the american public has viewed sarah palin. remember when she decided to not be governor anymore, the state of alaska, a lot of people who supported her scratched their head and said that doesn't make total sense. she does call herself rogue, going rogue is her book and maybe she is always trying to keep people off of their feet a little bit. >> on the other side, once he was the candidate and eventually president of the united states, barak obama reached out to hillary clinton, his one-time rival, for secretary of state. hillary a little reluctant to take the job and here is an explanation. >> she had two top advisors to start to plan her transition for after she won the general election, even before she was the nominee. that's how confident she was that things were headed in that direction. >> okay. to me, that was she was talking about extremely confident. but here is the thing.
8:08 am
hillary clinton evidently lost the confidence of many of her staff after what they call bizarre reaction to her loss in iowa. she also evidently fought snort obama. they should have brought up different things about senator obama's drug use, that should have been in play. and bill clinton, her own staff did a background check to find out about rumors about him having relationships with other women and found one, a long-term one in 2006 and they set up in there their own war room on just bill clinton. >> that's not surprising. remember when she was running, a lot of people said she was his greatest liability and it wasn't for relationships necessarily, it was for some of the things he was actually saying. like apparently in this book, some of the things he said to ted kennedy about barak obama that angered kennedy so that he ended up throwing his support to obama. then it came down to president obama's now president and who does he want to be his secretary of state? he wants hillary clinton. and very emotional phone call
8:09 am
apparently happened where hillary admits this. >> she said, you know, there is one last thing that's a problem, which is my husband. you've seen what this is like. it will be a circus if i take this job. there will be a new controversy every day that you'll have to deal with. obama says to her, i understand, but i want you so badly that i'm willing to live with your husband. >> it's an extraordinary moment. on the one hand you have hillary clinton saying she says to almost no one, admitting her husband is a problem. in the same time, obama comes back and shows vulnerability to her and says to her, given the economic crisis, given all i have to deal with, i need your help. >> all right. let's talk about the dynamics early in the book, it talks about how harry reid actually reached out to barak obama and said that he should run for president. but on page 36, they write: harry reid thought that obama would do well because he was,
8:10 am
quote, light skinned and didn't speak with a, quote, negro dialect unless he wanted to have one as he later put it. as soon as that was floated out there that harry was on the record saying that, he reached out to a number of members of the african-american community and called a bunch of members of the congressional black caucus and said i apologize,s that -- i apologize for it. it was taken not the way he intended it. but none the less, a lot of republicans are saying, there is a double standard here. trent lott lost his leadership job and harry reid apparently is not at this point. here is michael steele, the head of the rnc yesterday. >> there is this standard where democrats feel that they can say these things and they can apologize when it comes from the mouths of their own, but if it comes from anyone else, it's racism. >> earlier on the show, we had al sharpton who was one of the first people that harry reid
8:11 am
called to apologize to. here is his reaction. >> i think that it clearly was a mistake, but if he was talking as the office said about why he felt his candidate, barak obama, would win. he was supporting senator obama as opposed to someone saying don't vote for him because he's black. >> al sharpton went on to say regarding the at this time bid we talked about a little bit ago, that apparently in the book, bill clinton was talking to ted kennedy and clinton was trying to get ted kennedy's endorsement of hillary clinton and at one point, we're talking about obama, he said of obama, a few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee. when al sharpton was on our show, he said, now that, i find offensive. as he said, he also found the harry reid comment offensive, but he has accepted his apology. he's got to talk to bill clinton about that because that's way out there. >> president obama has accepted
8:12 am
harry reid's apology as well. however, back in 2002 when he was a senator and the trent lott situation happened, here is what he had to say about trent lott then. the republican party itself has to drive out trent lott if they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party. then this was his comment about harry reid in 2010. >> harry reid called me today and apologized for an unfortunate comment reported. i accepted the apology without question because i've known harry for years. i've seen the passionate leaders he's shown on social justice and i know what's in his heart. as far as i'm concerned, the book is closed. and that is basically it. two republicans clashed on one of the sunday shows. george will and liz cheney. they both disagreed. george will had no problem with the comments. >> there are so many people on the republican side who say, look, trent lott got squeezed out. harry reid's apology is being accepted. there is clearly a double standard. if mitch mcconnell had made
8:13 am
that comment, would people have said, okay, we accept your apology? >> the authors will be here tomorrow. so we'll give you more on that. >> we will look forward to that. president obama has had his hands full with health care, terrorism, lots of other stuff. in the meantime, looks like tensions are boiling over once again in iran. new york post columnist has some advice for mr. obama straight ahead. >> a new year and a new you and guess who is going to help you shed those extra pounds? richard simmons, one of our favorite all-time guests. >> you're live. is he going to wear that outfit again? >> yes.
8:14 am
8:15 am
8:16 am
15 minutes after the top of the hour. the president had a full plate dealing with terrorism and health care, but should he be paying more attention to that situation in iran? ahmadinejab is still there. new york post columnist michael goodwin has thoughts on this. good morning to you. we all know that there was this election over in iran a few months ago. it wasn't pleasant. there was rioting in the streets. what's happening there now? >> still lots of rioting in the streets. i am most concerned, however, about the nuclear program. looks to me like iran is determined to get a nuclear
8:17 am
weapon and i am not clear anymore whether the united states is determined to stop that or not. remember president obama gave several deadlines for iran to stop enriching or to make a deal with the united nations, or tougher actions would follow. the deadlines have all come and gone. understandably everybody was focused on the underwear bomber and security lapses in the airline, but the december 31 deadline passed, nothing happened action and the administration is saying we're going to keep trying to talk to them. china is saying, no sanctions. the united states doesn't use that word anymore. it looks like iran called obama's bluff. >> a lot of nuggets that you just said that i want to play off of. the first important thing you say in your column is that the underwear bomber becomes irrelevant if iran has a nuclear bomb. >> that's right. we're talking about connecting the dots. that's the big dot. that's the one that really matters most. if iran gets a nuclear weapon, there has tremendous fallout all across the region, all across the world. for example, our arab ally
8:18 am
governments are going to be very nervous if iran gets a weapon. they're not friends with them. >> are you actually saying that you believe that the obama administration has just settled on the fact that they're going to allow iran to get a nuclear bomb? >> during the campaign, president obama, hillary clinton, both said it would not allow iran to get a weapon. that was the american policy. the bush administration, that was the american policy. during the campaign of the obama administration. but since taking office, the obama administration toned down the rhetoric and there has been no evidence that we are really going to stop iran. we have kind of backed off every step of the way. we let every deadline pass and now we don't really have any support for even sanction. >> it's got to change -- is that a change in philosophy by president obama or the fact that he thought he could talk them into? >> it's interesting. because i think that everybody thought or at least the obama people thought george bush's rhetoric, the tough talk, was the problem. that if only we were nicer to iran, iran would change its
8:19 am
behavior. we changed our behavior, but iran has not changed its behavior. it's determined to get the bomb. i think it's another misreading by the obama administration of the kind of islamic jihad mindset. iran is a terrorist nation. it supports terror, it supports hamas, hezbollah and is killing our soldiers in iraq and afghanistan. yet, we act as though if only we are nicer to them, they will change. they haven't changed because they have a very different agenda. they want the bomb and they've talked about using it. >> in fact, this morning, they are the ones putting the deadline back on the u.s. so we will continue to follow that. >> that's the ultimate hoot spa. they've seized control of these talks. we're on the defense. >> thank you. a new report says health care costs are going to rise under the tell me's plan. can we pay for it and will it be worth the price? the prescription for truth is next. the auto industry has been badly bruised, but say they're ready for a comeback. are they? we're live on the floor of the detroit auto show with their latest and greatest. $$$$$r
8:20 am
8:21 am
8:22 am
8:23 am
today it's going to be the two of us talking to him. if the senate bill passes, it could mean that you will end up paying more than you currently do for health care. if the senate version passes. now the prescription for truth. peter, you did the math, you crunched the numbers. it will cost us more? >> the center for medicare services says it will cost .6%, almost 1% more. so democrats are saying, hey, this is pretty good. only 1% increase. we're having tremendous increases every year. although this past year we had the lowest increase in a long time. a little over 4% based on the recession. however, that's not the real story. the real story in that report
8:24 am
also says that doctors and hospitals will find it unprofitable, perhaps, to take medicare and may, in fact, move away from accepting medicare patients. >> that's the real take away in that report. >> then if -- if the pool of doctors who take medicare patients shrinks, does that lead to what some have referred to as rationing simply because there will be fewer to pick from? >> absolutely. in an alcoholic since, rationing and leads to increased prices for health consumers based on demand, and what it's going to lead to is we have now medicare increases of about 8% a year historically. the government is saying with this plan, we're going to cut medicare a half trillion dollars. can that really be done based upon the congressional things we see year after year where they give doctors increases in terms
8:25 am
of medicare. most people, including me, believe it's impossible that it's not going to happen. the real story as well is this, it's impossible to do, number one, but number two, you're going to see tremendous changes in health care, comparative effectiveness research. you're going to see the top 10% of physicians fined 5% in terms of their cost. if you're in the top ten percentage of physicians who are prescribing tests and procedure, the federal government and medicare is going to cut your bills by 5%. if you're part of a large group practice, under the senate bill, under the house bill, you will have an incentive to reduce costs because you'll get, what, a commission. you will get money back if your group reduces costs. so one point we're talking about a .6% increase. that's very small. on the same token, can medicare
8:26 am
increases be pulled back? what are the tax effects and are patients going to be served? >> if you're a hospital, you have to make things work, you have to pay the nurse, pay the rent. you can't do it if they have to take, for the most part, discounted medicare patients. >> medicare and medicaid is substantially discounted from private insurance. >> they already weren't happy. >> if you're an urban center hospital, if you're a world center hospital, if you're a county hospital and you're dependent upon a payer mixed mostly medicare and medicaid, when we know in this country that the biggest insurance company practices, the worst insurance company practices are practiced by medicare, you have less of a chance of medicare on an appeal of a service that's turned down than with private insurers. will those county hospitals, those rural hospitals, those big
8:27 am
city hospitals be able to keep their doors open? >> of course, medicare is government health care. >> medicare is, in fact, government health care and the plan is to have more medicare, more medicaid and more of it subsidized by all american. >> peter, we'll discuss that after the show. >> thanks. >> straight ahead, what is islam? don't google that because the search engine now accused of censoring the answers to that question. but when you search for christianity is, the answers are plentiful and offensive. you'll want to hear this story. >> it was a rough year for detroit, but they're reving up for a comeback. we're live on the floor of the auto show with some of the hottest cars ready to hit the road. >> sweating to the oldies. richard simmons joins us live. as you can see, there he is in the green room, pumping up the
8:28 am
volume. >> he needed more aerobics.
8:29 am
8:30 am
welcome back, everyone. we have a half hour left at fox and friends for a monday. if you've ever gone to google and you wanted to search about islam as a religion, you might not want to ask google because the popular search engine could be censoring the results. at least when you type in, islam
8:31 am
is. >> because when you type in, they've got the auto text, auto complete thing where you type in christianity is, and then it shows a whole variety of stuff and that's it. we blurred out the first one because it's inappropriate. then you've got christianity is not a religion, it's a lie, it's false, it's a cult, stuff like this. when you go on google and if you type in islam, i'm going to type in islam is. look at that. it comes up in america and africa. i'm going to type islam is. it goes blank. google never goes blank. >> why would it do that? >> maybe there is a fear that google could aggravate the islamic world. some of them which try to hack up a cartoonist who put an anti---- what they perceived an
8:32 am
anti--muslim cartoon out in norway. they saw what happened with the film maker was shot in the streets over another nordic country. >> because google says the reason it does that is simply a software bug. it's an error. it says, this is, in fact, a bug and we're working to fix it as quickly as we can. they've been saying that for a couple of days. here it is, 8:32 eastern time on monday morning. it's still messed up like that. that is nuts. >> you might have to use encyclopedia. >> it wouldn't have nothing to do with our pc society, for sure. >> kind of, because when you type that in, next thing you know, nothing comes up. >> time for your headlines. this story about the fort hood shooting. the doctor counties over seeing major nidal malik hasan repeatedly voiced concerns over his views on islam. but they still helped him move up the ranks. this according to a military review. it says despite his inappropriate behavior, doctors
8:33 am
continued to give nissan positive performance evaluations. officials want to know why he was promoted despite those concerns. the review will be delivered to the defense secretary, robert gates, on friday. he's accused of murdering 13 people in november at the texas army post where he was a psychiatrist. gretchen? >> u.s. troops will not be heading into yemen any time soon, according to president obama. in an interview with people magazine, the president acknowledges al-qaeda is a serious problem in that country, but right now he wants to win over the hearts and minds of the yemeni people. yemen's president vows to track down al-qaeda militants and talk to anyone, including the militants, who are ready to denounce terrorism. >> the mother of a missing eight-month old baby boy from arizona is behind bars and charged with kidnapping and child abuse. elizabeth johnson was extradited from florida where she's been behind bars since the month of december. she's now being held on $1.1 million bond. the baby gabriel is still
8:34 am
missing. he was last seen with her in san antonio last month. police are calling a scotsdale couple interested. they wanted to adopt the baby. they're not telling investigators everything. >> the first federal challenge to a ban on same sex marriage gets underway in california and it's happening today. justices in san francisco will hear propositions. opponentses argue gay marriages are right in the constitution. also for the first time, the court is allowing the proceedings to be taped and uploaded on to you tube. now a panda story that you can't get enough of. >> this should be your read. >> a baby panda could be coming to the national zoo in washington. female panda was artificially inseminated over the weekend. officials say timing in panda breeding is critical since they
8:35 am
can only conceive about one day a year. a baby panda can't come soon enough. that's because the national zoo's biggest attraction leaves for china next month. >> they are ambivalent will procreating. why are we forcing it? >> because they're so darn cute. we want more panda. >> captain we make a stuffed one? >> we do. >> i just used google, i put in panda is, like islam is. panda is not a bear. >> i had no idea. you follow that story? >> i will. >> let me do sports. >> great game last night. >> unbelievable game. allowed gretchen's kids to stay up 'til midnight. >> 8:07. >> arizona were hosting the packers and it was all arizona early. in fact, i thought the game was over. kurt warner looked good. you know what he said before the game, this will probably be my
8:36 am
last year. they built up a 31-10 lead. green bay said okay, it's half time. we took a shower, we had gatorade, we came back. did they come back in a big way. rogers here. can you say tie game? in overtime, the cardinals would get the ball and they drive. after a big gain, a trip shot. he missed. so time for a new life for green bay. would they pull up the upset on the road? the answer no, because of a turnover. rogers is stripped, it's caught, into the end zone. cardinals win a stunner 51-45. the highest scoring playoff game in history. cardinals take the saints on saturday. the other game was not even a game. this was unbelievable. here you have the nfc, afc east
8:37 am
title winners, pats hosting the ravens and this is how the ravens start the game. with ray rice, just like steve taught him when they grew up together in new jersey, runs it all the way in. 83 yards and never looked back. then in the end, tom brady would not be good. stripped of the ball, he was picked off three times. his brazil within wife is pregnant. ravens win 33-14. >> she had the baby. >> she did? >> yeah. >> baltimore colts play saturday night. >> big news out in detroit this morning. the ford fusion hybrid just won 2010 car of the year. the ford transit connect takes truck of the year. automotive expert is live in the show room floor in motown. good news for ford. >> yeah. live, late breaking and you guys just told me. no. i actually found out 20 minutes
8:38 am
ago. ford hitting it out of the park. the transit connect winning truck of the year. the ford fusion winning car of the year. that award, by the way, the result of really important automotive journalists like myself, all casting their ballot. i was not included. but i'm sure a bunch of very important people behind me did. congratulations to ford for winning car and truck of the year. those awards translate a lot of times into sales. let's talk about the detroit auto show. take a look right behind these very highly esteemed executives. see that car that's covered? well, that is the 2011 car that will be presented to the world press on that stage in less than an hour. you guys are special, so i said, heck, why are we going to wait? let's sneak behind those curtains and show it to you. here it is. this is the car you've never seen before. the 2011 acade i can't. it's a crossover, the smallest gmc ever built. it will get great gas mileage.
8:39 am
go on sale third quarter. a little over 30 grand. chevy is showing off this car today for the world. the avail rs show car. it will go on sale in 2011 for less than $12,000. from buick, take a look. this is not your grandpa's buick. the new regal. i think it looks like a lexus. 255-horsepower out of the turbo charged engine, 0 to 60 in under six seconds and it should go on sale sometime within the next year. buick certainly reinventing itself. let's talk about a hyundai that's built in alabama. this is the hyundai sonata. it's about $19,000, only been in the show room this is month. as a result, it's going to get 35 miles to the gallon. inside it's bigger than the ultima, ford fusion, and a loft of value packed in here. this is a mazda. called the evil twin.
8:40 am
i think i'm kind of the evil twin. but when it goes on sale, rumors are it should get 40 miles to the gallon and you'll see it in showroom this is summer. from nissan, this is a real car, we showed it to you earlier. you can drive this around manhattan, up to 100 miles on a charge. you plug it into a household current and you can recharge those batteries to 70% in 30 minutes. the nissan leaf, when it hits show rooms later this year, experts are saying that it probably will be very, very affordable. no exact pricing. let's look at a ford real quick. this is ford focus. it's truly global car. totally refreshed. that doesn't look like a focus. it's going to be the same now in the usa as it is in europe. asia, ford continues to impress people. not just who are out looking for cars, but impress people here at the detroit auto show with their powerful line - up. they hate it when i reveal the
8:41 am
cars before they take the covers off of them. back to you. >> you risked your career and credibility for us. thank you so much. >> absolutely. >> very nice. >> before we go, explain what you call this when you type in islam is, because a lot of our e-mails are saying they got results, but that's when they press enter. >> you can do a google search for islam and you will get something in that. it's the auto complete feature where you type in islam is, and then it goes blank, because when you do christianity is and it comes up, is a hoax, and stuff like that, it actually says that on google. but there is nothing for islam until you go into the google search. >> all right. thanks for that explanation. for all those e-mails asking the questions. florida is in the deepest freeze in two decades. live in two minutes. >> wall street, getting ready to hand out billions of dollars in bonuses. doesn't really sound like they learned their lesson. should the administration stay out of it? >> you better wake up.
8:42 am
richard simmons is here with the latest edition of sweating to the oldies. so get ready to sweat. look at that. >> is that live? >> that's america's news room woman. >> we want them to get in shape. go for it, richard. >> he's wearing a be dazzled outfit. >> who isn't?
8:43 am
8:44 am
i was looking at the weather
8:45 am
map right now. the temperatures are amazing. it is below freezing in a lot of the panhandle of florida. it's currently freezing, 32, in tampa. tom from our affiliate is live right now in florida. tom, we're worried about the citrus crop. >> reporter: well, as you should be. take a look at this. we are in florida, right? this is ice, my friend. very common up in your neck of the woods, but not so much in orlando. good news and bad news down here regarding the citrus crop. the good news is that the trees seem to be okay. they're not damaged. they seem healthy and will be okay for next year. the bad news, according to the guy who owns these groves, the fruit, you can't see it, but if you cut the fruit open, there is a lot of ice inside of the fruit. not good. the guy that we spoke with says he'll probably lose about
8:46 am
two-thirds of the value on all of his oranges, which will hurt profit big time. he thinks that this is only going to be good for orange juice. not good to sell as fruit. so good news and bad news. still cold. hopefully that's going to clear up in the next couple of days. back to you. >> tom live from the orange grove. thank you. >> wall street could be facing a bonus backlash. is more government help needed? here is what one top advisor had to say when asked if wall street would go back to business as usual. >> we'll redouble our efforts on financial regulatory reform because that had in it sensible things, like share on pay. sensible likes like saying compensation should be focused on long-term so that you don't have rewards for short-term risk taking. >> radio host jerry doyle joins us now. he's the author of, have you seen my country lately. good morning to you.
8:47 am
>> good morning, thanks for having me. >> when you see roamer say that they're going to impose more regulations and at the same time, today goldman sachs is going to have record high bonuses that they're going to start doling out today, what do you say? >> when i listen to romer, she goes, we want the shareholders to have a say. they already have a say, it's called their vote. if the shareholders decide to vote people in or out, it should be a shareholder decision, not a administration decision. this is an administration that wants to impose its heavy handedness on all businesses. with only 8% of obama's cabinet with a business background, i would suggest if you're going to get in the business of running businesses, have business people who can run those businesses. >> that's a good point, because they're few and far between. the problem is, there are a lot of people on main street watching right now and they're looking at the bonuses and which will start shortly on wall street. they're going to get bigger bonuses than ever. on main street, you know, how
8:48 am
many businesses are shuddering because the economy is just not doing well? there is such a disparity between you mentioned this in the break before -- between the haves and the have notes. >> right. the haves want to keep the have notes, you and i, the rest of the people watching this program, we're the have notes. the haves want to keep the have notes from having what the haves have. when you look at the bonus, think back to 15 months ago when they told us it would be end of the world as we know it unless they did something immediately, there would be no economy the following monday. 15 months later, record bonuses on wall street and main street saying, where is the money for small businesses? where is the jobs, this supposed jobless recovery we have. we basically have a 17.3 unemployment rate and this administration is suggesting songs to the band while we're knee deep in water on the titanic. >> isn't there a political reason behind this, because there is a lot of big time wall street people supported back barak obama. >> in you look at the political
8:49 am
contributions during the bush administration, they went to the bush republicans. during the obama administration, now they're going to the obama democrats. wall street knows how to butter its own bread and, unfortunately, we're out there waiting for someone to throw us the crumbs while these guys are eating the major loaves and people are frustrated. i got to say one thing about wall street. i was on there for ten years, unindicted by the way, which is important. the vast majority of people that work on wall street are good and decent people. they care about having people make money. it's just this clique, i have a chapter called financial incest where i lay out who these people are and what the relationships are. it seems like we're left here just going, i feel like that girl outside the house in polar guise screaming, what's happening? i think that's what a lot of americans are screaming. >> the book is called, have you seen my country lately. jerry doyle joining us from vegas, we thank you for joining us today. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it.
8:50 am
>> i don't know if we should be really excited or fearful. >> excited! look who is here! >> richard simmons making his way around the building and he'll make his way into the studio. he'll get you off the couch and tell us about his sweating to the oldies. >> for christmas, i gave bill hemmer a sweating to the oldies. >> naacp reacting to harry reid's comments. we talked to juan williams to analyze that story. s ratcal cleric al lackey was in u.s. custody seven years ago. why was he allowed to go free? we'll talk to our expert. see you at the top of the hour. ten minutes away from here.
8:51 am
8:52 am
8:53 am
8:54 am
he's been keeping america fit for over three decades. and richard simmons is showing no signs of slowing down. look at him. 59th workout video. who is going to give up first? are you going to run out of songs? >> i'll never run out of ideas to inspire people. in 2009a lot of people gained weight. they were stressed, economically, stressed with many things in their life and they just didn't exercise, didn't eat well. a lot of people put on weight. i'm hoping that 2010, sweat again in 2010. yes, you can in 2010. be a 10 in 2010. >> i like that.
8:55 am
>> you've been here in the summer in this outfit. but never the winter. how cold are you? >> i've been here in the winter. >> in that outfit? >> this this outfit. this is new. >> i noticed that. what are your missions for -- one of your mission social security to get a meeting with the first lady because she made it her mission, childhood obese i didn't tell. >> we waited four years to bring the fit kids bill on the floor. it may not happen this year, but the reauthorization of the no child left behind act will be up and they're going to hopefully put the fit kids back in there, so still people can go to richard simmons.com. there is a square there. you can send an e-mail to the congressman and your senator and the president and arnie duncan, our kids, this is another year, 2009, our kids didn't have pe. our kids are overweight. their grades aren't great and it's very important that we do this because what's going to happen to the next generation? all day long i call parents
8:56 am
whose kids are overweight and obese and you really have to make this commitment. that's why i keep doing the dvd's and new infomercial and sweating to the oldies. you have to keep people motivated. i'll do a tour of 30 cities this year. just talk to people. >> richard, you saw our crew about five or six years, are they get not guilty better or worse shape? we'll get that answer when we return. >> dear heavenly father. >> back in two minutes. you're going to love these commercials. we'll be right back on fox news.
8:57 am
